Hi,
1. mustek.c and microtek2.c
As you probably allready know, the code for backends using fork()
needs small changes to work with OS/2.
I can provide diffs for mustek.c, mustek.h and microtek2.c, based on
the work of Yuri Dario, if you are willing to include them.
Additionally sanei/sanei_thread.c would have to be added to
sanei/makefile.in
It would be easy to implement these changes also for
plustek, coolscan, agfafocus, snapscan and tamarack, but
I will only add these if I have a chance to get this tested first.
Regarding mustek and microtek I know that it works.
2. sanei/sanei_scsi.c
I would like to make some changes here (OS/2-things only):
- remove semaphore() code because it is no longer necessary.
(This breaks backwards compatibility with aspirout.sys 1.01
aspirout.sys beta2 or later from Paul Ratcliffe is needed then.)
- add:
#if USE == OS2_INTERFACE
# define MAX_DATA (64*1024)
#endif
But I'm not shure here. I did not have troubles with this, and it speeds up
the things slightly, but perhaps there is a reason I don't know why the
former (implicit) value was 32*1024.
- add some debug-code
sanei_scsi.c modified this way works at least for me (EPSON and Mustek)
and a Microtek-scanner of another OS/2-Sane-User.
Are there other OS/2 users on the list to comment these idea's?
3. Allthough I get SANE built on OS/2 it's a little bit tricky.
OS/2 executables need the .exe extension to work.
So in theory things should improve if
AC_OBJEXT
AC_EXEEXT
were added to configure.in
I don't know much about these things, but as far as I know
this would also need autoconf 2.13 at least.
At the moment configure.in tells:
AC_PREREQ(2.10)dnl dnl Minimum Autoconf version required.
